Has anyone driven an X4M and can compare it to a Macan? I have a Macan GTS and am waiting for the new one to come out but I saw a X4M today and it has way more kit than the Macan but questionable to drive. I’m interested to know if anyone else can compare them and what they thought.
Cheers

Hi,

I drove one a few weeks back. The UK only gets the X4M Competition. The cabin is very nice and comfortable. The tech is extremely good and way ahead of Porsche in my opinion. I was surprised at the number of options that come as standard. Handling was surprisingly good but not the same as the Macan GTS. It is fast ... very fast! I found the power delivery was very good. There is the slight turbo lag but the power is relentless after. I thoroughly enjoyed my drive. There are extremely good deals to be had on them at the moment. You need to drive one for yourself to get a true feel.

Looks like a nice car but will depreciate like a stone so unless you can get 20% off purchase or are prepared to lose a mint on it then beware!

WHAT!! That's incredible. I'd just give it back after 4 years and not worry about the depreciation.
What I don't like about BMW is the cockpit. It looks quite boring.

Is this deal only available through Dick Lovett?

That looks like an awesome deal and I also would just give it back at the end of the terms although 8k miles is a bit on the low side!

Blimey! 24.5% discount without even trying!? What does that say about how realistic the ‘full asking price’ is?

This would make me think, ‘Unless they give me 25% discount, I’ll walk away’ if I was ever in the market for a new BMW.

I like how you'd stick to your guns for the extra 0.5% discount :lol:

There are a few dealers offering this deal. I would also just hand it back at the end of the term. A lot of car for the money.
